Houston's is always interesting....Very good food....chicy atmosphere....Christy's is still a Gables favorite....very traditional but still very good....Ruth's Chris is in the Gables and very reliable.....Graziano's in now in Coral Gables and that too is a wonderful place to eat.....Marooshka (on Valencia) is a Middle Eastern / Mediterranean eatery that's also quite good and a bit off the beaten path......There are some really good places in Coral Gables and these are but a few......

Ortanique - excellent food, "Nuevo Caribbean". Dining room can get a little loud if you're looking to get business done.Cacao - "Nuevo Latino", also usually pretty good.Por Fin - just opened in the past month, Spanish with other various European influences (risottos, pastas). Loved the "eggs at por fin" app with serrano ham, potato foam, potato chips and truffle oil; good authentic paella too.Cofradia - "Nuevo Peruvian," interesting food, a little pricey (though not particularly more than any of the others mentioned).

Ortanique, Second Francesco and Grazianos, also many people like cacao more than I do (was good though and many swear by it), I haven't been to miss saigon in a long time but I really enjoyed my meals there,
